During the day of March 2nd, southerly warm moist air moved through Kentucky from Tennessee just ahead of an upper trough and cold front. As a result, a series of strong storms moved across south central Kentucky late on the evening of March 2nd and into the morning of March 3rd. Along with large hail, high winds, and some flash flooding, one particular storm produced a brief but strong tornado in southeast Warren County that crossed over into Allen County.
